The Sweetest Video You’ll See All Day!

Oh my goodness. I’m such a sucker for reunions; my family makes fun of me because I cry during the commercials for Surprise Homecoming with Billy Ray Cyrus. So this adorable military reunion that made the NBC sports page is right up my alley. You’ll dig it too.

Darla Harlow and her family are big fans of the Mississippi Braves, a minor league baseball team. When she threw out the ceremonial first pitch of a game earlier this week, she thought the dude behind the catcher’s mask was a Braves player.

How cool of her husband and their daughters to arrange this sweet surprise!

My dears, doesn’t this just warm your heart? Would you like to be reunited with a loved one like this? Or do you prefer more low-key affairs? And how do you feel about surprises? Love ‘em? Hate ‘em? How does your guy feel about them?
